Device isn't responding properly and keeps failing to power up.
Last night I played games and everything worked fine. I turned off my PC and went to sleep. When I woke up and tried to power it back on, nothing happened—no screen output, only the case and motherboard lights lit. I changed RAM, unplugged components, reset CMOS, and even adjusted the BIOS settings to a lower RAM speed. Once I set it to 2133MHz in BIOS, it would turn on but the RAM stayed at that frequency. After recharging the CMOS battery, it wouldn’t boot anymore. My system has a CPU, Ryzen 5 5700X3D, GPU RTX3080, 16GB DDR4 at 3200MHz, and a B550 Gaming Plus.
Yes, you might want to consider replacing your PSU if it's outdated or not meeting your power needs.
Used outdated SATA storage devices; HDDs or SSDs might be the issue. Tested removal first. Thought it was the power supply unit, but the SATA SSD could be the cause.
I took out my HDD and the second NVMe drive, but it didn’t function properly. After reinstalling everything, everything worked fine. However, once I started a game, after a few minutes everything froze and the audio became unstable.
